Materials and methods Optimized multi-shot spin-echo-EPI sequences were compared to conventional spin-echo c-SE at 11.75 T and used for high-spatially resolved acquisitions and relaxation-time measurements.

Results Good quality images were obtained, with clear delineation of gray and white matter. Acquisition-time gain factor was up to 6 vs. c-SE and resolution up to 74 × 94 μm was achieved. T1 and T2 relaxation times were reliably measured.
